Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 819 - 818 Ouyang Baixin

After poking fun at Shangguan Lingyu, Xu Ping’an no longer communicated with the girl through mind-speak.

His Soul Power began to wander around the area.

Due to the strength of his Soul Power, it was difficult for anyone to detect Xu Ping’an’s probing.

Unless they were strong enough to be at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm, even Immortal Emperors of the Eighth Layer Realm would be unable to sense Xu Ping’an’s investigation.

Xu Ping’an’s Soul Power explored the private rooms in the vicinity without anyone noticing.

"In this Immortal Emperor Realm, there are quite a few indeed, I’ve already encountered no fewer than forty, and that’s not even everyone present," Xu Ping’an said to himself.

Forty Immortal Emperors, that in itself is a terrifying force anywhere.

However, these Immortal Emperors were not very strong; most were below the Fifth Layer of the Immortal Emperor Realm, with only five surpassing the Sixth Layer.

"Who?"

However, as Xu Ping’an’s Soul Power swept over the Earth character number one room, the other party immediately detected Xu Ping’an’s Soul Power and traced it back to its source.

"Immortal Emperor at the peak of the Realm?" Xu Ping’an was surprised as he looked at the middle-aged man inside the Earth character number one room.

This man was actually a peak-level Immortal Emperor.

"Young friend, probing others with your Soul Power is quite impolite," the man’s voice resonated in Xu Ping’an’s mind.

"Sorry, I had no intention of offending," Xu Ping’an quickly apologized.

After all, it was not worth offending a peak-level Immortal Emperor Realm stranger.

Besides, using Soul Power to probe was indeed his mistake.

"Young friend, your Soul Power is so strong at such a young age, may I ask which power you hail from?" the man transmitted.

"I am Qi Xuanbo from the Jade Immortal Sect, may I ask for your esteemed name?" Xu Ping’an replied with a smile.

"So you’re a high disciple of the Jade Immortal Sect. I am a Loose Cultivator, known as Mysterious Sword," the man responded.

"Mysterious Sword Immortal Emperor?" Xu Ping’an had not heard this name before.

However, he suspected that the man’s claim of being a Loose Cultivator was unreliable and likely did not wish to reveal his true identity.

It was highly possible that he was a powerful individual from an Ancient Sect.

"So it’s Mysterious Sword, I’ve long admired you," Xu Ping’an responded immediately.

"You have such ability at a young age, truly a rare genius. Well, the auction is about to begin soon, so I will not converse much longer with you," the man said with a laugh.

"Please, as you wish," Xu Ping’an responded.

Then he could no longer sense the man’s soul fluctuations, obviously because the man had withdrawn his Immortal Sense.

"Interesting, it seems this auction really is brimming with powerful figures," Xu Ping’an murmured to himself.

He decided not to extend his Soul Power to probe any further.

The Tian character rooms housed either the top powerhouses or major forces; it was better not to provoke them lightly.

If this Mysterious Sword had not wanted to make a scene, today might not have ended so easily.

Meanwhile, in the Earth character number one room, the middle-aged man also showed a surprised expression.

"At such a young age, merely twenty years old, yet possessing Soul Power at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm, and so solid at that—it’s truly rare in this world," Mysterious Sword exclaimed in amazement.

"Master, are you saying that the one who was probing us just now is a twenty-year-old?" A young man next to Mysterious Sword asked in astonishment.

"Yes, Sun Lin, remember that there are heavens beyond our heaven and people beyond our people. Reaching the Fourth Layer of the Immortal Emperor Realm at twenty-two is indeed an incredible talent, but there are others in this world who are even more monstrous than you," Mysterious Sword Immortal Emperor spoke.

"I understand, Master, I will definitely work even harder. Speaking of which, will that item really be at the auction?" Sun Lin asked.

"There is, this is already confirmed news. However, getting hold of this item will probably not be so easy," the Mysterious Sword Immortal Emperor spoke.

"If it really is that thing, then this auction will be exceptionally fierce. Many ancient sects will not be able to sit still," Sun Lin said.

"It’s time they re-emerged. Those guys have been hiding for so long, just waiting for this moment. Once you enter the Reincarnation God Ruins, I fear the cataclysm will follow in full," the Mysterious Sword Immortal Emperor continued.

"Master, will the seal really be lifted?" Sun Lin asked.

"Yes, once the seal is broken, Immortal Emperor level powerhouses will emerge like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and that will be the true beginning of the great war," the Mysterious Sword Immortal Emperor declared.

Sun Lin’s expression turned grave.

By then, probably many would die.

As for the root cause of all this, they didn’t know.

In any case, the great war was about to start, and no one could escape unscathed.

"Clang!"

Just then, a bell rang from below.

Everyone looked down to see what was happening, and without them noticing, an elegant and statuesque beauty had appeared on the stage below.

"It’s her, Ouyang Baixin. I didn’t expect her to host this auction. We’re in for a real treat," someone remarked.

"Yes, she was once ranked third on the Celestial Rankings. Although she’s over thirty now, what’s the difference between thirty and twenty in the Immortal Emperor Realm? Her charm has only increased," another added.

"She’s so beautiful, but it’s a pity. I heard that she’s encountered some issues with her body and can’t break through to the second layer of the Immortal Emperor Realm. Otherwise, her talent is incredibly heaven-defying," one sighed.

...

A murmur of discussions filled the surroundings.

Xu Ping’an gazed at the woman on stage, who was the epitome of grace and had a figure to die for, with a hint of amazement in his eyes.

It was undeniable that this woman was breathtakingly beautiful.

Her white dress outlined her figure to perfection.

That exquisitely beautiful face looked so sweet, yet carried a touch of sultry charm; it was truly hard to take one’s eyes off her.

Xu Ping’an managed well enough, for he had a strong resistance to beauties.

However, Lv Yun beside him was completely smitten, his eyes filled with deep admiration.

"Ouyang Baixin? You know her?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile.

"Predecessor, haven’t you heard of Sister Ouyang? She’s the most famous person in the Mystic Spirit Realm. Not only was she honored as the realm’s number one beauty, but her talent is also monstrously exceptional,"

"By the age of twenty, she had already reached the Immortal Emperor Realm. It’s just unfortunate that she later had physical problems, and her cultivation could not progress any further, diminishing her fame somewhat,"

Lv Yun explained.

"Oh, reaching Immortal Emperor Realm by twenty is indeed regrettable," Xu Ping’an looked towards Ouyang Baixin.

A double surname, Ouyang?

It’s the same as his mother’s family name; he just didn’t know if there was a connection.

However, his mother had gone to the Earth Spirit Realm and later was said to have moved on to the Divine Realm.

This Ouyang Baixin likely had no relation to his mother’s family.

Of course, these were not the things that truly concerned Xu Ping’an.

What really caught Xu Ping’an’s interest was that he felt there was something about this woman that was drawing him in.

Suddenly, Xu Ping’an seemed to remember something and pulled out the fragment of the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror that he had forgotten about until now.

Yes, it was this very thing that gave him a sense of familiarity.
